Kristopher Tapley has covered the film awards landscape for over a decade. He founded In Contention in 2005. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Times of London and Variety. He begs you not to take any of this too seriously.

That's what the award's website says Kris. Also, Phil Hoffman wasn't nominated but you have him winning best supporting actor. Christoph Waltz apparently won that award and Tommy Lee Jones was the runner-up. Also, the Best Music/Soundtrack award has been left off: The winner(s) are a tie between Django Unchained and Moonrise Kingdom.

What's up with all the ties? I can see one, maybe two, but any more than that is simply ludacris. Also, Ted and Moonrise Kingdom are two very different types of comedies with different tonal elements. In no way should they be tied. This group is just plain undecisive.
